The Greatest Gift He Ever
Made.

It has been stated in some of our ex-
changes that Mr.. H. H. Warner, OF
Rochester, N. Y, in the science, built
an astromical observatory at an es-
timated value of 100000, and given
between $4,000 and $4,000 in prizes
for astronomical discovery.
This is all very we'll, if Mr.. Warner
seeks to divert his eneyies in this chan
mel. But from all we can hear among
the people, if he never gave anything
to the world except his great remedy,
Warmers safe cure, formerly known
as Warmers safe kidney and liver cure,
he would be comforting the most prac-
tical and far-reaching benefit that it
is in the power OF any one man to
give the pubic.
It is now conceded that he has the
only specific for kidney disease and
uric acid in the blood, and medical
authorities of candor agree that if the
blood is freed from uric acid by that
great remedy, and the kidneys are
kept in health, over ninety per cent.
of human diseases disappears.
The manufacturers evidently know,
and if they do not, we should like to
tell them of the unanimity of public
sentiment in favor of their great RENE
dy; indeed. they seem to realize this,
when they say, IF you do not be-
lieve the statements we make, ask
your friends and neighbors, what they
think of Warmers safe cure. such
evidence OF confidence in the estab-
lished character and worth of their
preparation is unprecedented Unless
they know it has merit, and will do
precisely, what they state, they would
not dare give such advice to the pub
lie.
Such confidence ought to be infec-
tious.

One of Lambs Letters.

These letters are rich in sterling
sense, as we'll as poetic gossip and
friendly badinage. Barton,at one time
was tempted, as so many have been
and will be again, to leave "the drudg-
cry of the desks dead wood" and be-
take himself to literature as q liveli'
hood.
"Throw yourself on the world"
cries Lamb, without any rational
plan of support, beyond what the
chance employ of booksellers would
afford you'll! Throw yourself rather,
my dear sir, from the steep Tarpeian
rock, slap-dash headlong upon iron
spikes. II you had but five consola-
tory minutes between the desk and
the bed, making much of them, and
live a century in them rather than
turn slave to the booksellers. Keep to
the bank and the bank will keep you.
l bless every star thai Providence, not
seeing good to make ME independent,
has seen it next good to settle me
upon the stable foundation of Leaden-
hall. Sit down, good B. B., in the
banking Office. What! is there not
from six to eleven p. M, six days in
the week, and is there not all Sunday?
Fie, what superfuity of mans time,
ifyou could but think so!-enough for
relaxation, mirth, converse, poetry,
good thoughts, quiet thought. O, the
corroding, torturing, tormenting
thoughts that disturb the brain of the
unlucky wight who must draw upon
it for daily sustenance Henceforth 1
retract all my fond complaints OF EN-.
ployment; look upon them as lovers
quarrels. I was but half in earnest.
Welcome dead timber OF desk that
makes me live!''
Bernard Barton took his friends
advice, and doubtless lived to bless
him again and again for it.-Macmil-
ian's Magazine.

Death of a Hero.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Gen. Thomas E. Egan, who was
seized with an epeleptic fit in the Inter-
national hotel one night recently
and removed to the Chambers street
hospital died afterwards. Gen. Egan
was abont sixty years old. He went
to the war in 1861 as quartermaster
of the constitutional guard, which
was known afterwards as the Mozart
regiment and the forteith New York
volunteers. He soon became famous
as a fighter, and rose rapidly to bril-
gade command. He commanded in
several noted engagements. His
horse was twice shot beneath him on
the field OF G Gettysburg. and he lost his
horse five times afterwards in different
engagements. He fought at Malvern
Hill, Second Bull Run, Chantilly,
Charlottesville and the Wilderness.
After the war President johnson made
him weigher, Gen. Grant appointed
him internal-revenue collector, and he
also served in the custom house under
Collector Arthur. He was lavish in
his expenditures, and while in the GUS
tom house kept a suite OF rooms at
the St. Nicholas that were fitted up
sumptuously. 1t is estimated that he
spent a fortune of nearly million.
Lately he lived on his pension money.
Gen. Egan was married twice. His
first wife obtained a divorce from him
and afterward married John T. Ray
mond. He was engaged to be married
to lady not long after this, and
made her presents amounting to $780,
900. The match was broken of, how
ever, and the presents were returned
to him. One Of these was a diamond
necklace valued at $4,000. Gen.
Egan's mother lived in La Crosse, Wis,
with his sister and brother.

Granting an Unmade Request.
The wife of Justice Field lately told
this little story about Edwin M. STAN
ton, the war secretary, writes a Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Tribune. In the first days of the war
Mrs. Field gave a dinner party, and
the secretary was one of the guests.
The ladies at the table, one by one,
began to ask favors of the head of the
then most powerful department. of the
government. Mr.. Stanton listened,
but made no reply, and encouraged
none. Finally he turned to the hos
tess and said: "Have you nothing to
ask for?" She had not spoken, and
had not thought of anything she de-
sired at his hands. But she answer
ed: "When I have a favor to ask, it
will be for brave and deserving ofic-
er. The next day an orderly called at
Justice Fields house with this mes
sage from the secretary: "Will Mrs.
Field kindly name the officer to whom
she referred last EVENING"" After search
ing her memory, she thought OF q
young lieutenant buried at a post
where neither glory nor danger was
within reach. The orderly went back
with the note of thanks and the young
mans name. That lieutenant came
out of the war major-general.

Fred Conner writes to the National
Tribune at Washington and relates
this amusing incident of war times:
We had gone into winter quarters at
Charleston, w. Va. Some recruits
had arrived for the thirty-six Ohio,
and one OF them was finding fault with
the government for not putting more
pockets in his blouse. 1t happened
that the wife of Gen. r. B. Hayes was
on q visit to the general, and was
stopping at headquarters. Some of
the boys told the grumbler that he
could get pocket put in his blouse;
that Gen. Hayes kept seamstress ut
headquarters on purpose to patch
their clothes and sew on buttons,
eyes," said one, "the general is al
ways on the lookout for the welfare
of his mon. Only the other day
he had man arrested for sew
ing on some buttons. The idea Of
a soldier patching his clothes when
the general has a woman for
that purpose. If you want another
pocket in your blouse take it to the
general. you will find the lady there.
Tell them what you want and you
will soon get it." He was soon on
his way to headquarters, while we
watched to see the fun. The recruit
marched up and the general retur ned
his salute and said: "Well, my good
man, what can l do for your" "Gen-
eral, the boys told me there was a
woman here to sew for the soldiers.
and l wanted to get pocket put in
this blouse" Before the general
could answer, Mrs. Hayes spoke up
aud said; Certainly, certainly; leave
your blouse for an hour or so and you
shall have a pocket in it," When the
soldier returned with the pocket in
his blouse, and the boys told him
who the lady was we realized that we
had carried the Joke to far.

Roach Remembered Him.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
An intimate friend of John Roach
told this of him at the time of his as.
signment: cat twenty-five he had
wife and two children. At this time
he was a slight slip of a fellow and did
not weigh much over 12O pounds. He
became ill and was confined to his bed
until all of his moderate savings were
gone. One night, when there was
scarcely a penny IN the house, the
physician came to see him, and after
examining him said; John Roach, you
should know the truth. You must
die. Your lungs are hopelessly affect:
ed. I tell you this so that if you can
make any provision for your wife and
children you will yet have time Roach
was in despair. He saw absolutely no
hope for him in the future, He did
not fear death, but the thought oil
leaving his wife and children to des.
titute, poverty-stricken life pierced
him to the heart. He prayed all night
that he might live. In the night
vision came to him. It seemed as il
he were looking directly into heaven,
and from that abode OF happiness
came a promise to him that he would
live. The next day fellow-workmen
came to see him. The workman was
going West.
"He came to see John Roach, he
thought, for the last time. He bent
over him and kissed him goodbye be.
fore he went away. After his depart.
ure John Roach found that he had
left under his pillow his weeks wages
in the very envelope given at the
works. John Roach did not die.
With the modest help of his friend he
got astart. Thirty three years after he
was walking down Broadway when he
saw the back of a plainly dressed man
whose figure seemed familiar to him.
He was moved by some spirit or de.
sire to speak to this man. He stop
ped him and said: L do not know
your name, but l ought to know it.
What is it?' The man gave it. It was
the name OF the workman who had
befriended him on his dying bed. Said
Roach; DO you know me?' No 4 am
John Roach was his reply, the ship
builder Yes, have heard of you in
the newspapers. But you must excuse
me, I have in hand a very pressing
matter of business. Wait o moment
said Mr.. Roach. Did you ever know
another John Roach?' Yes, but he
died some thirty odd years ago. No,
he didn't; I am that same John
Roach, was the shipbuilder's reply.
1.-THE man was very much aston
ished, but he again made q move to
pass on, as he was pressed for time
But Mr.. Roach made him stop and
tell what his business was. He found
that his friend had a small house and
shop in Brooklyn. It was to be sold
under the hammer to redeem g. mort.
gage at IL o'clock that day. It was
II o'clock. The man was hurrying
to see the sheriff to ask him il he
could not'put of the sale a little longer.
Mr.. Roac l. said to him: / know
that sheri well. You will lose no
time stopping with me- He dragged
him into q restaurant. where they
had q hurried lunch. During the stay
in this place Mr.. Roach made out a
check for the full amount of the mort
gage. He then took his old friend in
a carriage and they reached the sher.
